The team 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

You will join the IT & Infrastructure team composed of Lounis Hammar , Steve Garnier and Tim Biyot.

You will work day-to-day with the Engineering Team and the UpSlide Support Team.

Team goals 🎯

This role is not primarily L1 support; it focuses on platform reliability, dev enablement and workplace engineering , while contributing to support through automation and scalable solutions.

Your responsibilities 🖋️

Mission 1 : Run and evolve the Cloud Platform (Azure) with an SRE mindset

• Own day-to-day operations
• Drive improvements of our Azure infrastructure (availability, performance, scalability, cost).
• Define and implement reliability practices: monitoring standards, alerting strategy, incident response, postmortems, runbooks.
• Improve resiliency: backups/restore strategy, DR scenarios (RPO/RTO), regular testing of recovery procedures.
• Standardize cloud governance: subscriptions, RBAC, tagging, policies, resource conventions, access reviews.

Mission 2: Observability ownership (Datadog)

• Own Datadog configuration and coverage: dashboards, logs, traces, monitors, alert tuning and noise reduction.
• Ensure meaningful service-level visibility (SLO-style indicators when relevant) and actionable alerts.
• Partner with dev teams to improve instrumentation and operational readiness.

Mission 3 : Dev Enablement: CI/CD, pipelines and test environments (Azure DevOps)

• Be the infra point of contact for the dev team on devs topics: pipelines, release processes, environments, access.
• Maintain and improve Azure DevOps pipelines (templates, reusable tasks, approvals, gated deployments, security of service connections).
• Build and maintain reliable test/staging environments (repeatable provisioning, environment parity, automated teardown where possible).
• Improve developer experience: self-service patterns, documentation, “golden paths” for new services or apps.

Mission 4 : Infrastructure as Code & automation

• Own and expand IaC (Bicep): modular patterns, code reviews, environment consistency.
• Automate recurring operations (provisioning, standard changes, patching checks, compliance reporting).
• Reduce manual and tribal-knowledge ops via standardized workflows and documentation.

Mission 5: Modern Workplace: Windows 11 + Intune + M365 foundations

• Improve and maintain endpoint management at scale (Intune policies, compliance, app deployment, Autopilot, update rings).
• Strengthen identity/device security posture (Conditional Access alignment, MFA, device compliance-driven access).
• Build automation/self-service to reduce L1/L2 load (packaging, scripted remediations, onboarding/offboarding flows).
• Partner with IT support to improve processes and reduce ticket volume (root-cause fixes, tooling, reporting).

Mission 6 : Documentation, standards, and internal “platform product” mindset

• Maintain clear documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, onboarding guides, troubleshooting playbooks.
• Define and evangelize standards across cloud, pipelines, monitoring, and workplace configuration.
• Act as a multiplier for both IT and Engineering through clear processes and a service-oriented approach.

Your goals ⚡

First 30–60 days

• Map current platform & workplace posture (Azure, ACA, Datadog, Intune) + quick wins list.
• Reduce top alert noise and publish a core dashboard pack + incident/runbook baseline.
• Stabilize pipelines with templates + secure service connections basics.

End of Probation

• Repeatable staging/test environment provisioning (IaC + pipeline triggers).
• Endpoint baseline improvements (Autopilot/Intune posture, compliance-driven access).
• Backup/restore and DR runbooks tested at least once for key services.

Salary range covers multiple career levels and will be refined during interviews based on experience: 50k-60K
